Blynk Gateway + Nodes
A Gateway device provides cellular connectivity for wireless or CAN Bus connected Nodes. The Nodes collect sensor data and send it to the Gateway where it is posted to a cloud service. All data in the cloud is then accessible via a iOS / Android map and a web dashboard (Blynk).
Gateway
A small device (123 x 105 x 53 mm) with power input of 120 VAC / 12 to 24 VDC / Micro USB will
be mounted within 1000 m / 3281 ft of all Nodes.
The device will use Blynk for cloud storage, online
web dashboard, and iOS / Android smartphone app.
The mobile app will display what is being montitored and notifications may be configured to
advise the user of the phone of particular changes in any input being monitored.
The mobile app and web dashboard may also remotely turn VAC / VDC components on/off via
MCU Nodes
